Basically, you ought to use ‘the’ in front of ‘earth’ when you are speaking in a general sense. If you are using ‘earth’ as a proper noun, it ought to be capitalized, but wouldn’t need to have ‘the’ in front of it. Some people tend to use the word ‘earth’ when they truly ought to be using ‘Earth’.

The article “the” should be used in formal writing.

It is sometimes dropped, when you want to evoke a feeling
